Applicant Services Center

What Is It?

Our Applicant Services Center (ASC) is the hub of our permitting services. In the ASC you can:

• Get a free 20-minute coaching session with a permit specialist or land use planner
• Submit your subject-to-field-inspection construction permit 
• Attend pre-submittal conferences and project intake appointments
• Pay your permit fees
• Get an over-the-counter permit
• Pick up your permit and approved plans 

We serve walk-ins on a first-come, first-served basis for each service. Before visiting the ASC, check our estimated wait times for an idea of when we can help you. Please arrive before 2:00 p.m. in order to be helped that day. If wait times are long, we encourage you to arrive even earlier, as some services may reach capacity before 2:00 p.m.
